**Complementary lessons from internal productivity to customer-facing AI** AI is transforming the travel industry, but turning ideas into reliable, measurable systems in production remains hard. In this meetup, engineers and leaders from BlaBlaCar and AMEX GBT Egencia will share practical lessons on how they structure AI efforts, ship real systems, and operationalize agentic workflows—from internal platforms to customer-facing travel products. While both companies tackle similar challenges, they’ll share perspectives from different starting points: * **BlaBlaCar** will discuss its focus on **internal productivity and developer enablement**. * **AMEX GBT Egencia** will share learnings from building **customer-facing, knowledge-grounded GenAI agents**. Together, we’ll cover: * how AI initiatives are structured and measured for impact, * how agentic AI is used for both internal productivity and external user experiences, * what it takes to evaluate, orchestrate, and operate agents reliably in production. Expect concrete examples, honest trade-offs, and shared lessons from teams approaching similar problems from different angles. **Format (Hybrid)** This will be a **hybrid meetup**. If you’re around the Paris area, we strongly encourage you to join in person for discussions, networking, and pizza. Remote attendance is also possible—**RSVP to receive the Zoom link.** **Practical Information** **Date**: March 31st, 2026 🕕 **Schedule**: * 6:00 pm – Welcome & networking * 6:30 pm – Talks start * ± 9:00 pm – Pizza & drinks **📍 Location:** AMEX GBT Egencia, 11 Chemin de Bretagne, 92130 Issy-les-Moulineaux (Agora conference room) **🎯 Audience:** (ML) engineers, data scientists, AI enthusiasts, AI practitioners, leaders **🗣️ Language:** English (questions welcome in English, French, and a few other languages) 👉 RSVP early — **in-person spots are limited.** **Agenda & Talks** **Part 1 — AI Strategy: Organizing for Impact** **BlaBlaCar — Yannick HOFFSESS** In the race to “AI-everything”, a lot of companies are burning cash on demos that never leave the lab. At BlaBlaCar, we took a different route: we are treating AI integration like our carpooling model — focused on efficiency and shared resources. In this talk I will go under the hood of BlaBlaCar AI strategy. This isn't about theoretical models. It is a blueprint of how we integrated AI in our practices. I’ll share our reality: the mindset that actually matters, the projects that delivered good ROI and the hurdles that are slowing down our journey. **AMEX GBT Egencia — Bernard CHEA, Véronique BLIN-ROYER** Great AI products don’t start with a model — they start with the fundamentals that make them reliable. We’ll share how we structured and evolved our AI initiatives to move from experimentation to sustained impact: building strong data and AI platform foundations, adapting our approach for GenAI without reinventing everything, and partnering closely with Product to define success criteria upfront. We’ll also cover the governance and prioritization choices that helped us — and the lessons from what slowed us down. **Part 2 — Agentic AI: Internal and Customer-Facing Use Cases** **BlaBlaCar — Mike BENOIT, Valentin FRIES** In this talk, we’ll first break down our journey in enabling engineering teams with a tailor-made multi-agent ecosystem. How to create an orchestrator agent? Are they good at introspection? How to get the most out of your trusty IDE plugin? We’ll share how we moved beyond standard Copilot usage to significantly increase developer experience. We’ll then demonstrate how agentic tools can be leveraged internally to lift operational bottlenecks, like solving the flakiness of external test systems, assisting customer support in investigating escalations, or optimizing the cost of profile picture moderation. We’ll showcase real-world implementations that directly improve our teams’ quality of life and share how we track the tools’ efficiency to provide measurable business value. **AMEX GBT Egencia — Mohamed HAMHOUM, Riham MANSRI** We’ll share a production-grounded journey of building customer-facing GenAI support, starting with a multilingual RAG-based FAQ system deployed in 10 languages. We’ll do a candid retro on what it really takes to keep a RAG experience healthy once it’s live: defining success criteria, putting the right guardrails in place, building an evaluation approach that works across languages, and maintaining quality over time through monitoring and iterative improvements—not just one-off demos. We’ll then show how those learnings informed our move from Q&A to our first Flight Exchange AI agent in production. Using insights from real chat and live-agent sessions, we’ll explain why flight changes were the right next step, what changed when we introduced an agentic workflow, and how we scoped an initial v1 to deliver value safely while creating a feedback loop to expand capabilities. **Speakers:** **Bernard CHEA** is initially a full-stack software developer since 2005 and joined Egencia back in 2012, building the booking platform, then led the data platform and lastly the AI engineering and AI platform teams. His objective has always been to have a full end-to-end view on all aspects of the business to better serve our customers, asking the same to the teams he’s managing. Outside of work, he likes spending time with friends, a former bachata dancer – connecting to humans and not only computers. **Mika BENOIT** works as a Software Engineer at BlaBlaCar since 2021. He joined the Booking squad, creating since then the backend serving the booking flow for all the buses and trains on the platform. During his free time, Mika likes to learn new maker skill, maintain a too complicated home automation setup and play Dungeon & Dragon. **Mohamed HAMHOUM** is a Machine Learning Engineer at Amex GBT since 2024 passioned by GenAI. He has worked on turning structured search systems into intelligent, agent-driven assistants using RAG and Agentic architectures. He has also led efforts in evaluating and strengthening these systems, ensuring performance, stability, and reliability in high-stakes enterprise settings. Outside of AI, he's a big fan of board games and traveling, though he ironically forgets the names of most of the games he plays, despite being able to design agentic ai systems cross teams. **Riham MANSRI** is a Machine Learning Engineer at Amex GBT, where she develops AI solutions and machine learning models across a range of use cases since her final year R&D internship back in 2022 at Egencia. She enjoys working with advanced ML technologies and applying them to real-world problems. Most recently, her work has centred on Generative AI, spanning the design and evaluation of RAG systems, agentic AI, and the use of A2A to improve agent-to-agent communication and coordination. Outside of work, Riham enjoys movies, especially horror and thrillers, has grown into an F1 fan over the past few years, and is an enthusiastic bootcamp workout devotee. **Valentin FRIES** joined BlaBlaCar as a Senior Software Engineer in 2022 and worked since then on bootstrapping and evolving the Global Distribution System enabling train sales on the platform. Prior to that, he worked for multiple years as Software Engineer in the travel industry, in education, and infrastructure. During his free time, Valentin practices Taï Chi Chuan and likes to start new hobbies — woodworking, bass guitar — that he won't be able to invest in since he has a newborn child. **Véronique BLIN-ROYER** has been working in product management for over 15 years. She started her journey when agile practices were beginning to take root — around 2012, when agile was becoming mainstream. Since then, she had the opportunity to work across different product development teams, from front-end to back-end, always refining her craft as a product leader. Product management has always been a passion for her: “not only do I practice it daily, but I also teach it in a business school and create internal training programs to help others grow in this discipline”. This background has shaped how I approach AI Product Management today — blending rigor, agility, and a deep curiosity for how AI can transform products. **Yannick HOFFSESS** is the Head of Bus and Train Engineering at BlaBlaCar, a company he joined 4 years ago, bringing over 15 years of tech leadership experience from roles in the travel industry at Amadeus. Yannick balances his professional life with a passion for sports, van-life adventures with his family and needles.

Mobiliser nos ressources, les conjuguer avec celles de nos proches, créer avec eux de nouvelles richesses, les partager équitablement : ce n’est pas un rêve... juste un chemin à explorer. **Pour qui ?** * Pour celles et ceux qui ont été freinés plus que soutenus dans la prise de conscience de leurs richesses de toutes sortes... * ...et qui ont besoin d’affirmer plus joyeusement leur puissance d’exister et d’agir. **Comment cela se passe ?** * Le groupe comporte entre 4 et 10 personnes. Chaque séance dure environ 2 heures ; * Les participant.e.s y travaillent alternativement par deux et en grand groupe ; * Ils explorent leurs propres richesses selon différentes approches. **Quels bénéfices pour les participants ?** * Dans cet atelier, vous pourrez nommer vos richesses et vous en réjouir ; * Puis les affirmer dans le monde social, et y vivre mieux.

Ce n'est pas une question piège — et il n'y a pas de bonne réponse. Mais les réponses en diront long sur ce que le « travail » signifie pour chacun et chacune d'entre nous ; et sur la question de savoir si la manière dont nos sociétés le conçoivent et l'organisent est la seule qui soit valable. Voici comment la soirée se déroulera : 1. Une brève introduction à notre groupe. 2. Un tour de présentations pour celles et ceux qui le souhaitent — aucune obligation. 3. Un échange ouvert autour de la question ci-dessus — avec un totem de parole pour que chaque voix puisse être entendue. 4. Un moment d'échange libre pour celles et ceux qui le souhaitent, et l'occasion de faire connaissance. Venez avec vous-même. Aucune lecture, préparation, ou expertise requise.

cyber sécurité: préparation à des concours professionels de hacking (red team, pentest, bug bounty, thèses publique de hacking, ...). J'en ai assez de voir des autodidactes très talentueux: \- vivre du RSA\, allocations car ils n'ont pas accès à un CDI\. \- se contenter d'un résultat médiocre pour leur niveau \(CDI dans la cyber sécurité défensive\, etc\.\.\.\)\. \- ne pas avoir accès à des voix alternatives plus méritocratiques \(concours\) par manque d'information\. \- ne pas connaitre le CV\, la LM type d'emplois alternatifs \(thèses publiques\)\. \- ne pas avoir le courage de s'inscrire à ces fichus concours \- constater que des gens pitoyablement inférieurs en éfforts\, en résultats et en compétences laminer des profils hautement qualifiés\. Je propose donc une réunion informelle d'autodidactes en infosec pour se focaliser sur le future professionel. Ce sera organisé au format d'une session d'échange d'informations communautaire type "site du zéro", "zeste de savoir", "open classrooms" "root-me", etc... L'objectif du est d'avoir un financement au sens vaste dans l'offenssif. Je compte faire une présentation des méthodes de recrutements méritocratiques (concours académiques, concours privés, bug bounty, etc...). J'ai pas mal d'idée et de plans. Ce serrait très gentil si vous me partagiez vos idées et vos experiences! Ca me soulagerait de pas postuler seul à des concours. lieu: jardin du luxembourg 26 rue de Vaugirard · PARIS, fr modalités: \- ramenez un PC\. \- je pense qu'il y aura des prises\.

This is "***New Members Night***." If you are one of the many folks on the fence about coming to your first wine tasting with the *Hilliard Wine Club*, this is the night to come. There will be many other new people, so you won't be alone. And the regulars will be there to help make you feel welcome. We're a relaxed and warm group. We hope to see you. **SIDE NOTE:** New members are welcome to ALL our Friday night wine tastings, but this night is a special overture to those who don't want to feel that they are the only new person in the room. Don't worry. You won't be. And don't hesitate to RSVP to other events. **OLD MEMBERS NOTE**: Hey Old Members! You're not excluded from this event. We expect to see you there to help make the new members feel welcome. **Sample 4 different wines** this Friday for $15 (*Cash or Venmo only please*). Glasses are provided. Bring a snack to share. Bring a bottle to share if you care to. See all the details below for the Hilliard Wine Club Wine Tasting. In Person. In Real Life. Actual Wine from glass bottles with corks and everything. **Wine**: Tastings will be $15 for four samples as always. And you are welcome to bring a bottle of your favorite wine to share with others. Participation in the wine tastings is optional. But since you’re going, I will buy enough wine to cover you. If you bring your own wine and do not participate in the tasting you will only pay $10 to cover the door charge. **Parking**: There are several public parking lots near the Alive614 hall. Please be careful to NOT park in private parking lots. They do tow. Check Google maps to scope out your space. Anyone who is early could easily find a parking space on the street nearby. **Glasses**: …will be provided. Please note that after the wine tasting, the glasses need to be returned to the boxes at the service table. Please be gentle, our glasses are fragile. Uh, they are made of glass! **Food**: You are welcome to bring a snack to share. It is not required. Most people do though. If no one brings anything, there will be nothing. **Code of Conduct**: Though mostly understood, it’s still worth mentioning. We don’t have rules per se, but we highly discourage the following topics of discussion because they are likely to incite anti-social responses - Sex, Politics, Religion. Please don’t mistake this as an attempt to limit your free speech rights but rather a guide to a place and time for appropriate discussions. **Extra Wine**: After everyone has had their samples, we remove the pouring spouts and any remaining wine is poured freely to whomever wants it. I hate having leftover wine. **Queen of Hearts**: The Queen of Hearts raffle is a fundraiser for the club and a Barnum and Bailey type extravaganza - minus the dancing ponies, clowns, and actual circus. Bring your ***cash*** as the Queen does not accept American Express or other plastic. **After the lights go out**: After the last sip of wine, when we clean up and turn the lights out, if you still haven’t had enough of us, it is typical for a group to get together and go to a local eatery for food and/or drinks or coffee. Again, We look forward to meeting new members and reuniting with old friends. Sincerely, ***Paul Uttermohlen***, **Red 1 Realty** *Your Hilliard Wine Club Host*

Anyone who is early could easily find a parking space on the street nearby. **Glasses**: …will be provided. Please note that after the wine tasting, the glasses need to be returned to the boxes at the service table. Please be gentle, our glasses are fragile. Uh, they are made of glass! **Food**: You are welcome to bring a snack to share. It is not required. Most people do though. If no one brings anything, there will be nothing. **Code of Conduct**: Though mostly understood, it’s still worth mentioning. We don’t have rules per se, but we highly discourage the following topics of discussion because they are likely to incite anti-social responses - Sex, Politics, Religion. Please don’t mistake this as an attempt to limit your free speech rights but rather a guide to a place and time for appropriate discussions. **Extra Wine**: After everyone has had their samples, we remove the pouring spouts and any remaining wine is poured freely to whomever wants it. I hate having leftover wine. **Queen of Hearts**: The Queen of Hearts raffle is a fundraiser for the club and a Barnum and Bailey type extravaganza - minus the dancing ponies, clowns, and actual circus. Bring your ***cash*** as the Queen does not accept American Express or other plastic. **After the lights go out**: After the last sip of wine, when we clean up and turn the lights out, if you still haven’t had enough of us, it is typical for a group to get together and go to a local eatery for food and/or drinks or coffee. Again, We look forward to meeting new members and reuniting with old friends. Sincerely, ***Paul Uttermohlen***, **Red 1 Realty** *Your Hilliard Wine Club Host*

A fun way to compare wines from two different countries at a time. House Wine is squaring off two countries' wines against each other each Thursday in March. March 12, March 19, March 26, and the Finals April 2nd. Meet and Greet format....show up after 7pm, pay your $15 at the cash register, get your wine glass, and enjoy. I will get a table reserved for the group. Remember, you may bring in your own food or takeout. Attendance is your agreement to the Group's Waiver of Liability terms. See our Group homepage for details. Parking is tough at House Wine; there is a municipal lot one-half block north of the shop and sometimes parking at the lot behind Jet Pizza, accessed by the lane between the east House Wine parking lot and the residence to the east.

Enjoy a bit of Columbus culinary history at Carfagna's market, wine bar and ristorante. We will gather for a glass of wine or two in the wine bar at 6:30 with dinner at 7pm.

Message me if you want to be on my table. Keep your reservation up to date as the Attendance and Release of Liability provisions are enforced, including the 48 hour No-Show Rule.
